Subject: base-install cannot figure out how to install
Package: install
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
*** Please type your report below this line ***
While trying to install with 3.1 Testing (net-install),
base-install fails severely. In attempt to install base-config after
partition / format, I get the following error message:
"cannot install base system.
the installer cannot figure out how to install the base system. no
installable cdrom was found and no valid mirror was configured."
The strange part is the cdrom was found, as it's a prerequisite for
even installing the system or anything else!
If you need more information on my system, please contact me at this
email. I have saved all the included Debug information provided by the
installer. (partman, messages, hardware summary, etc)

We are closing this installation report for one of the following
reasons:
- it was reported with a pre-lenny version of Debian
Installer.
- indications in the installation report give the feeling that
the reported problem waslying in another software, unrelated to
D-I, which we can't easily identify.
- indications in the installation report suggest that it may have been
fixed in a more recent version of a D-I component
- it was successful and we forgot closing it..:-)
- it has no information we consider useful
The D-I team is currently in the process of cleaning out the old spool
of installation reports that haven't bene processed yet.
In case you think that the problem you reported has chances to be
still present, please reiterate your installation test with
a more recent image of D-I, if you're in position of doing this.
You'll find daily builds at
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer. We recommend you choose
the netboot image, in the "daily builds section", then choose to
install "squeeze" when prompted.
If some problems are found, please report them with a new bug sent
against installation-reports.
Many thanks for your understanding and your help improving Debian,
past and present.
